AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision

A circular disc of radius \(R\) is removed from one end of a bigger circular disc of radius \(2 R\). The centre of mass of the new disc is at a distance \(\alpha R\) from the centre of the bigger disc. The value of \(\alpha\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let, mass of entire disc \(=M\) Mass per unit area \(=\frac{M}{\pi(2 R)^2}=\frac{M}{4 \pi R^2}\) Mass of removed disc of radius \(R\), \( M_1=\frac{M}{4 \pi R^2} \times R^2=\frac{\mathrm{M}}{4} \) Mass of remaining disc, \( \Rightarrow \quad M_2=M-\frac{M}{4}=\frac{3 M}{4} \)…
